Full List of Capitol Rioters Jailed So Far and the Sentences They Are Serving

• https://www.newsweek.com, BY ALEKS PHILLIPS

More than 1,146 people hailing from all 50 states and the capital have been charged with a variety of alleged offenses in relation to their presence at the grounds of Congress that day, though the FBI noted recently that there were seven named individuals who had absconded from the law while facing charges.

The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Washington D.C. office said in its latest update that 623 people had received sentences—though not all had been handed periods of incarceration—while around 657 individuals had pleaded guilty to federal charges, "many of whom faced or will face incarceration at sentencing."

Supporters of then President Donald Trump descended on the Capitol to prevent the official certification of the 2020 election results, which gave Joe Biden the presidency. The former president has continued to claim that the election was "rigged," but has denied stoking the violence that took place at the Capitol.

Below is a full list of those who have been imprisoned over their participation in the uprising, in no particular order. There are 380 names listed, however some have not been officially listed by the DOJ in D.C.

The ages given are either as of when they were charged or the date of sentencing, some of which stretch back to 2021. Where a combined dollar figure is given, this is the total cost of any fines, restitution or assessments.

Kevin Louis Galetto, 63, of Merritt Island, Florida, was sentenced to 27 months in prison, 24 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,000 after pleading guilty to civil disorder and assault of a federal officer.

Alexander Bennett Sheppard, 24, of Powell, Ohio, was sentenced to serve 19 months in prison, 24 months of supervised release and ordered to pay $3,170. He was found guilty of multiple charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding, and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

Connie Meggs, 60, of Dunnellon, Florida, was sentenced to 15 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release. A member of the Oath Keepers far-right group accused of helping organize the uprising, she was convicted of conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding.
